iRacing

dont buy this , quality of racing is lower with higher splits , if you want to do formula cars or sport cars just wait for AC EVO or do good old Assetto Corsa. This isnt fun , and not worth it... I hope I can save you few hundred bucks

DO NOT BUY THE GAME!!!! it is full of crybabies and the people that run the protest system will give you weeks and weeks of bans for the smallest of incidents if one of the crybabies protest you. Its racing theres gonna be contact its simply unavoidable but they dont care you will be banned. for a monthly paid service and having to buy every car and track at $15 each its simply not worth it because you wont be able to play for weeks at a time

The oval racing banter is what makes it worthwhile

point system needs alot of work, shouldnt be going from 10th-3rd and get -5 lmao what a joke

unless you have a deep wallet, this game is just a money pit, takes the fun out of sim rracing

I have several hundred hours in this game (it doesn't always count correctly on steam) I also own quite a lot of additional content for the game.

There's no other game that offers what iRacing offers; good matchmaking with fantastic simulation quality. It's amazing how simple that is, but somehow this is the only game that really satisfies that need.

The penalty system often draws a lot of flak from new players, and it's not perfect, but it really does enforce a certain standard of driving, and at the end of the day is probably the best system in any of the major sims.

Forcing players to earn the right to drive faster cars also acts as an effective tutorial, restricting people from accessing harder to drive cars until they've proven they understand most of the game's systems.

While there's plenty of changes I'd make to this game, and the graphics aren't stunning; it still offers the best multiplayer racing of any game. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny!

Too many cunts. No fun with so many cunts. Wish there weren't so many cunts. Can't recommend, because there are too many cunts. [I played enough to get out of rookies...]

really realistic! would recommend to anyone who likes racing.

Could you guys make a setting for us controller users it’s way to fast to steer and it’s ridiculous should be able to be playable without a wheel as not everybody has one could atleast make a setting for console controllers especially if we having to pay for the game plus subscription and everything else please fix this asap it’s unfair thank you

It's the BEST Sim-Racing Game and if you can afford it then I would 100% suggest buying it, I use the 6-month subscription because I believe its a great in between

very realistic physics. like you can really feel how the car is behaving.

i advocated for a clean race considering the first 10 races i do some random has their car pinned and plows across the whole track to wreck everyone. so i type that people need to pay attention..they get mad start a fight in the chat..proceed to report ME..the employees at iracing ban ME. they support the players that know nothing about racing and ruin every race by wrecking abd plowing into people from bhind/beside anywhere and they ban the ones that advocate for clean racing. i'll never play unless i get a chance to buy the whole company. theres a few things that need changed obviuosly and itd be easy to do.

Signed up for a rallycross race and did 30 minutes of practice. Started the race got a great start, led the entire 1st lap. hit the side of the car into a wall in turn 2 of lap 2 got unrepairable wheel damage and had to DNF. 10/10 would do it again.

Steam you really need to get with the program on dual use of wallet funds for backup payments when applicable. Such a mess with this current format. Unreal.. Absolute headache.

Yeah, great game but if starts to crack under its own weight. I'll explain why I quit it after 8 years.
I don't want to stress myself battling wheel to wheel with the best drivers, I just want to have a fun battle from time to time. So I drive some bad races, my iRating drops and then have fun with some weaker players and battle for P1. Well, apparently this is "iRating manipulation" or something like this, so I've been banned for 4 weeks because some frustrated loser made a protest about this.
Well, I personally don't accept such stupid things, so this is the end of my beautiful relation with iRacing. Fortunately my subscription ends in november and I will not renew it. But it's a shame that it had to end like this. Apparently they just don't want my money anymore.
Other problems with iRacing: you buy cars and tracks only to find out one year later that they are not used anymore, and are replaced with other cars and tracks that you have to buy and so on and on.
It's weird how they are very careful to ask for 10-15 euros per car/track, but don't care that they with lose subscribers that pay 100/year beacause of completely exagerrated punishments for stupid reasons.

I like the competition in iRacing a lot, the grids is usually well filled and the racing is very fun.
It does cost some more money then most simracing games out there, but its great fun!

>pay
>car go fast
>fun, entertained
>life good, but bank empty

do you like gambling?... then this game is perfect for the money that you will never get back...
This game is like a drunk dad getting home from work and taking his anger out on his children.
This game is perfect for drunk drivers as they can get into a race and just kill people without the prison sentence.
This game is great 10/10 would recommend

This is a very good Racing game real life competitors I love to play

Good game. Very good racing. I'm having fun like NO other simulator I've ever played.

But this shit is way too expensive. Way too expensive specially for someone in a 3rd world country.

They will side with the person that takes you out if you retaliate, they will ban you if you cuss. You can be taken out but god forbid you say ( F"!> this you'll be chat banned), you are wasting your money because they don't want hear your opinion even if it's productive. Please send your $12 a month to a upstart of some kind. The rules say no kids under 14 or 16 but that doesn't matter you'll be crashed by them then cussed out by them. Iracing has went down hill really fast, if it was 2 years ago I would have recommended it but not now unless you only run league races, official races are broken because of the kids trolling. I've wasted $1,000 on this "SIM" please don't do the same.

DO NOT Buy this on steam, everytime theres an update it just a hassle. Install it through iracing then ask for a steamcode. Only reason its getting a recommeneded is becaucse its steams fault

Not a game but a simulator. If you know the difference, then you will probably love this game. In VR it takes it to the next level.

At the time of writing this, it is week 13 of Season 3 for 2024, and I will admit, outside of Steam's interface and market for the way the iRacing memberships work, this is quite a fun game to get into and does make for a fun hobby, too! I personally recommend going through iRacing.com to try to get your content and memberships, but over all, if anyone is looking at trying to get into sim racing, it's very much well worth it! It does pay, however, to join up with a racing team (which there's quite a few out there that are rookie accessible on the iRacing forums and Discord server! Well worth it, especially if you want to experience what the pros go through!

I think i like it better than ACC and AC. The ranking system is better and it seems to me I get much closer racing. The formula/open-wheel experience kicks the crap out of anything else out there too. It's on the expensive side no doubt, but I've spent money on far far worse.

Best of the Best Racing Simulation
makes you feel like a real Racing driver love it

Great Sim love everything about it except the cost of the game that adds up quite fast...

Can't describe it anything else as THE BEST racing sim I've ever tried, and I love it! Handling and physics on another level,
Competitive lobbies are the reason I came here, and i was amazed on how fun and fair it is, very challenging and pushing you forward to be better each lap.
Base content got a lot to offer, so the price is fair for what you get.

Great community. Even scrappy races have much higher level of respect to other drivers. Best sim I've ever played.

Easily one of the best sim racing games on the market rn. While i heavily dislike the subscription model and i only ever recommend renewing it during any sale that shoots the year sub down to less than $30. It's a very good game under the surface.


However, The outdated penalty system does more harm than good. You can be given an x5 for literally being driven into by a car behind you. Something that YOU the person AHEAD should not be penalized for. But you do. Cause for some reason it's somehow BOTH of your faults & not just the person who just drove into you. No both, You can't even protest stuff like that either. Which is an absolutely outrageous system that as i said does more harm than it will ever do good.

Someone is going to try and defend their outdated penalty system but for me, As of this moment it's not a good system and it needs an serious look over cause getting your rating pumeled to the bottom because of other drivers just makes me not want to race. Cause why should i continue racing if other people can just destroy my rating?

The money sink into this game isn't as bad as people say though. The only thing that will get expensive are the needs to buy tracks if you want to sink your time into an series for an entire week/season. But you get discounts during bulk purchases, and at a certain amount of ownage of content you get an permanent discount on your profile so everything does become cheaper over time.

Overall decent game with an outdated penalty system.

very good and realistic game the races are clean but the back gets sketchy in lower classes

It's absolutely pay to play, but if you have some extra cash this is the absolute peak of sim racing. Playerbase is large enough to have competitive races in most categories too

Very hard to get out of the rookie series, in which people cannot even drive in a straight line without crashing. Once you are out of the rookie series, there is very little content included with the subscription, so you will have to buy track and cars to get any use out of anything outside rookie series. The cars and track are over priced, and the subscription itself is also way too much outside the first time subscriber deal. I prefer the physics and driving model of ACC over that of Iracing, the cars in Iracing feel very light and slippery, though getting into an online race is a significantly better experience than any other sim on the market at the moment.
